Free of Me

When I was a little girl I wanted to be a woman -Lipstick, high-heels , black nylons for meWhen I was a little girl I wanted to be a VetSick puppies and kitty cats I would healWhen I was a little girlI wanted to be a motherMy baby doll I did care for, love well

When I was a teenager I wanted to be a womanBleeding from the wombWhen I was a teenager I wanted to be lovedKissed and hugged , cuddled and cooedWhen I was a teenager my mother said I stood funnyCrooked back , a crack in my otherwise non-perfectionSurgery was the only cure

For me I was robbed of my teenage yearsA woman is all I wanted to beA Vet with sick puppies and kitty catsOff to college I wentI made up for the robbing of my teenage yearsBoys, cars, pot and boozeHoping to bleed with each new moon

Then a little girl I wanted to beNo worries and my mommy to take care of meNo sick puppy dogs or kitty catsNo lipstick , nylons high heel shoesNo bleeding from my woman's womb

A little girl with no worries carefreeAs now all I have are staid memoriesNo one to chase away the boogies at bay Being a woman is not all I thought If I could be a little girl againI wish I were a little girl againI want to be free of me Can I please be a little girl againI want my mommy to take care of me

This poem really has a wonderfully nostalgic tone to it, and it makes me rethink what I am actually doing in my life, and what I plan on accomplishing later on. Amazingly done, you are a very talented writer.

We never know how good we have it until its to late. We as a human race take far far to much of an advantage of everything we have. I have felt the same way you described for a long time. To be a little boy again not a girl of course for along time. I miss those carefree days. I think your poem has embodied that feeling in a better way than I have ever seen it described. You did an excellent job.

I absolutely adore this!!! It made me think about when I was younger. And while I never wanted high heels or dresses, I did think a lot about what it would be like when I got older, or tried to. It's interesting to see how we always want to predict the future but when the "future" is here, we look back at the past and think "What exactly just happened? Let me rewind!" It also made me think about when your parents tell you "You'll understand when you get older." But do you ever really understand more when you're older? It seems to me you just see things in a broader prospective and are just exposed to more things you'll never understand. I don't know. But thank you for your writing! This was absolutely beautiful!
